Hey, Mike. I've been watching your stuff for a while now. I'm 44, and I just started lifting again when I hit the 40 mark. So I've been chasing the dream again lately. And it's really nice to get some good advice. I felt like a 90 year old for years before this. I had to not lift the way I wanted, like I did when I was young. I had to relearn everything. But make it not hurt me. I took 15 years off of lifting. I just recently got married and learned to love, but it's hard to love yourself. I'm still working on that. But here's the thing: I used to hate myself. Lifting makes me a better person, both for me, and for my love. "You can't take care of anyone else until you take care of yourself." Not sure, but that sounds like my mom talking. I feel good now, and I keep doing better. Thanks for being you, man.

@BobbyHill262 ай бұрын
Maybe I am wrong, but I kinda agree with dr Mike here, and personally feel like if you can only get in such a position by doing a specific stretch and it’s impossible to use wait, then why bother? Unless you just want to be as flexible as possible, I don’t see any need for doing stretches aside from maximum ROM exercise. For the vast majority of people, mobility is a quality of life thing rather than a skill to be mastered, so going for levels of flexibility that would never be useful outside of a circus seems kinda pointless to me. Before I started lifting I didn’t have particularly good flexibility but I have quite a bit of muscle now and only from doing standard, full ROM weight training I can comfortably place my palms on the ground with my knees locked, get a very significant arch in the bench press and can grab the gymnastic rings and turn and twist myself until my shoulders don’t have any room left to move in their sockets before dislocating without ever experiencing and pain or weakness and I can’t imagine a scenario where being more flexible is necessary. Granted, I don’t see being more flexible as being a problem outside of potential joint damage from hyper flexibility, but I just don’t see any reason in dedicating specific time and effort to improving it
@user-he4ef9br7z2 ай бұрын
